I just love sitting down and falling down the rabbit hole for half hour and forgetting where I am. I write mostly in my lunch breaks and evenings.Paul Caudellhttp://twitter.com/PaulCaudellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-65505709876620856592013-02-17T12:16:33.288-08:002013-02-17T12:16:33.288-08:00Writing is the only way to preserve everything you...Writing is the only way to preserve everything you think. Ideas, dreams or simply random things we see can be blended and shaped. I've always seen writing as something natural, a need to express things and put them safe somewhere. Plus writing is history, not text book one, but a personal one. You can always go through things you've written and add more or maybe take out certain things: it's a palimpsest.María Luisa Guevaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-34609578743357639202013-02-16T14:43:30.146-08:002013-02-16T14:43:30.146-08:00Thanks, Margaret!

I recently told a family member that the getting paid bit of being published is a bonus because I happily continue writing without it.Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-21966919154096955072013-02-16T14:42:03.277-08:002013-02-16T14:42:03.277-08:00Agreed!

It could be the characters, or it could be the creating of something new, or it could be my way of creating stories I'd love to read. So that's my answer: I have no idea. Maybe the best bit is trying to figure it out :)Emily Meadhttp://twitter.com/theloonytuneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-39484744332765872802013-02-15T14:39:17.381-08:002013-02-15T14:39:17.381-08:00I daydream so much, and writing gives me the chanc...I daydream so much, and writing gives me the chance to "glue" those daydreams to paper. I think I love writing the most when I get a scene down that just feels phenomenal, or when I write a piece of prose that makes me snigger maniacally at my own brilliance, or when I write a strand of dialogue that just works and feels natural. All I can say is: The Lake Scene.Robin Rednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-88011336746536608102013-02-15T08:05:37.555-08:002013-02-15T08:05:37.555-08:00Writing allows me to express myself in a way nothi...Writing allows me to express myself in a way nothing else does. I can create entire worlds with nothing but my imagination. I can take readers on a journey, have them fall in love with characters, and face ups and downs page-after-page.

Not just to bring a story but to execute it right, to create the characters, to appeal the reader. Lots of obstacles and the satisfaction of overcoming them in the process. I truly enjoy that.Al Diaznoreply@blogger.com
